First compounds to exhibit cross kingdom inhibition and reversal of biofilms

Environmentally friendly method to control the formation of biofilms on artificial surfaces such as water pipes or air-conditioning ducts in industry and agriculture

Non-leaching polymer coatings

Our Innovation

Novel simple heterocyclic compounds, synthesized to resemble the structure of the natural auto inducer-2, are used as polymer coatings for water pipes, membranes, food packaging and other surfaces to disrupt quorum sensing between bacterial cells and prevent the formation of biofilms.

Key Features

No antibacterial or antifungal effect, avoids development of resistant strains

Environmentally safe – non-leaching coating

Effective against both fungal and bacterial biofilms

Inhibit and reverse biofilm formation

Development Milestones

Additional compounds to be synthesized

Additional field trials in agricultural, municipal and industrial water pipes, homes and hospitals
